Contributing happens on so many different levels. Code whisperers often find problems and solutions right off the repository. Conversations happens with the project's issues and pull requests. For many however, Discord is a good start on any subject matter and is useful for instant discussions on any subject matter.

Issues

The issues pages are filled with tasks that has their tag with different priorities (milestones). If deemed necessary, feel free to start a new issue. The priority tags are prone to change, new issues can be brought into the priority list or tags with existing issues can change depending on the contributions, discussions and progress with the overall project.

Pull Requests

Ah... delicious PRs. For the newcomer, pull requests represents the portal into the world of code and programming. Although no programming skills are necessary to execute a successful PR they do put the user face to face with new terminologies and protocols used by professional programmers. A pull request is the process of which contributors can add changes to the project that they did with their own copy of the game (repository) located on their computer.

OpenRA's GitHub has extensive guides on pretty much everything related to modding and contributing with step-by-step instructions on how to set up your developer environment. You'll also find tons of resources on topics that directly affects the Unplugged mod project.
